Well, it scares me! Non-contact can quickly become contact for clumsy ones like me! I was the first person ever to get hurt in gym class (in elementary school) while playing with the big parachute thing. *hangs head*

Hey Diva - I totally understand the reluctance you're feeling. Seeing a therapist can feel like an admission of defeat, when in actuality it's the beginning of getting better. As long as you can find someone with whom you have some rapport, just being able to talk without getting the kind of reaction you expect from your mom will be helpful.

Allie, if Diva can get into ultimate frisbee... but it sounds like you have a lot to choose from. I ended up heavily involved with my college choir. It was one of the most important parts of the whole experience for me.

Hey, it happens! I have a very, very small string of tenacity.

Emcee's got spunk! I can totally picture her kicking ass on the field!

I've been looking into choir. There are two to choose from, and I think one has a better director. I may audition!

I sort of run away from the ball, but that's another story. Every time I try to catch a football, I jam at least one finger. But every now and then, I just want to get out there and run a bit. I guess every couch potato has her moment, right?

I'm so not a sports person.

I've been thinking about buying all eight of the soundtrack covers (I already have a Roger one that I've opened) and keeping them untouched until they become big collectors items in the future and I can sell them off in my late, destitute old age.

Sound like a plan?

They *could* end up being worth a ton...

[Chloe]

Posted: 10/1/05 at 10:19pm

Exactly. Random bits of popular culture from the 60's are now worth huge sums. Not that I'd probably want to sell them anyway, but the idea occurred to me.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/1/05 at 10:21pm

I always feel like if I'm going to buy stuff that's so important to me... why would I want to sell it?

[Chloe]

Posted: 10/1/05 at 10:28pm

And of course the marketing people were way ahead of me, which is why they're calling these versions the "collectors edition." It's very clever of them, because I *do* want to collect them.

Bumping this thread for some Sunday morning love!

Aaand, since it's almost Rosh Hashana, I would like to wish everyone here a happy, healthy, and wonderful New Year that is full of laughter, friendship, and boyfriends.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:19am

Thank you, and likewise.

Actually, I can't go home for the holiday this year, and I'm really upset. I don't even think I have time to go to services here, because I have a an exam Tuesday, and an exam and a paper due Wednesday. It's totally unfair, considering that I go to school with a pretty big Jewish population. They say you're excused, etc, etc, but that's a huge HUGE hassle to make up that kind of work. *is pissed*

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:35am

Sorry, Em.

Chloe, I sort of wish I'd gone out and gotten everything related to the movie for collection's sake, but I know it's not a good use of my meager funds. Part of me knows that a few magazines and seven extra copies of the soundtrack aren't that important. What would I really do with them?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:40am

I have the magazine stuff, because I wanted to hang it on my wall. And magazines are so so so much cheaper than CD's. (They're shooting a cover picture for Life Magazine soon -- be on the lookout! That'll be something to have.)

Guys -- sorry to be a downer, but since we've been shooting around advice on this thread, I need some.

Some of you know this friend, some of you don't. Anyway, we've had a really rocky relationship. We were very close, and had some tiny fights. Then we had a huge blow-out over something petty, and had a "talk" that technically made us okay, but we've not really spent much time together since, except for big theatre events in which she wanted to tag along with my friends and I. We're fine in a big group -- civil and maybe even friendly, but alone togetherness is just... awkward. She's become very close with my roommate, and I've had to ever-so-slowly give up, which is one of the hardest things for me.

Anyway, this morning my roommate told me that she just told people via LJ that she's transferring out of our school TOMORROW to go to the University in her home state, and study the complete opposite of what she wanted to study here -- she wants to go be a math major (they have a fabulous math dept), and make a bigger difference than she might studying history here, because of women in the professions of math and science, etc, etc.

Something tells me she won't see fit to say goodbye to me. I feel like I should wish her the best, and say goodbye... but I wonder if she feels the same way. What do I do? Do I bother, or should this just be my final way of letting it go?

I can't catch a break lately. Sigh.

Wow, Em. That suprises me about her.

Do you think this transfer is related to money, perhaps? She never seemed the type to change a major she was so passionate about, especially for something I got the impression she might not like.

I think you should say goodbye. If that's REALLY the end of things, you should sit her down and tell her everything.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:49am

I don't know this person, but if it were me, I think I would say goodbye. Have some closure, maybe. Even if you're not that close anymore, you were at one time!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:49am

I think it's related to a lot of things, absolutely. My roommate and I were just talking about it, because it's obviously come as a huge surprise to both of us. She sees it that she can study history and other things as a hobby, and academically, really make a difference... which is so... selfless of her. My roommate told me she says she's bored here -- the genius type of bored. And she's on a HUGE courseload. But you're right -- I think it's more than what's at the surface, because she's been thinking about not continuing here for a while, and had plans to graduate early on financial grounds.

I don't know what to do. I'm the kind of person who for fear of looking stupid might just let it fly. I'll cry or something, and she'll sit there totally stone-faced, either not caring or trying not to care. And at this point, I don't even know what's left to say -- because all of the signs I get lately from her are that all we went through means nothing. And the truth is, I in part owe her for one of the people I'm luckiest to have in my life. I don't want to say I can't imagine things without him, because clearly, most people don't have that... but.... this is a huge thing that's simply come out of knowing her.

I have until tomorrow, I guess.

It's just not one more thing I need.

*shuffles and hugs pillow*

I'm having the weirdest sense of deja vu. Like... I've dreamt about this. About this happening and me coming to you guys for advice.

*sigh*

Emcee, do it.

Bored? That's REALLY suprising. What does she want that she doesn't have? I know she has friends and I thought she liked all of her courses.

*hug* I'm sorry, chica.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:55am

Yeah... bored, like she says all of her work is done all the time. Which, impossible? That's just impressive.

I thought that too, that's why this strikes both my roommate and I as either totally weird, or just... selfless. She's a better person than I for that.

Thanks. I know I'll regret not seeing her. Maybe she'll come here to say goodbye to my roommate. meh.

Something good will happen soon. It has to.

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 10:59am

Talk to her, Em. Trust me on that one.

She is selfless. Sometimes, talking to her is like looking at a future version of what I could be. I might very well be doing what she is doing in a few years, but I can't imagine being ok with it.

[theatrebabe]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 11:01am

I'm sorry emcee. I'm sure something good will happen soon. Don't worry.

I had to order my RENT soundtrack because it wasn't in and now I have to wait until Wednesday. WEDNESDAY!!!! It's driving me craaaaaaazy!!!!!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 11:02am

Well, no matter how many times I've said she's selfish, this isn't one of them.

My roommate just said that some friends of ours are going out to dinner to say goodbye. It's not anywhere that I can eat anything and I need to watch a movie for Spanish, and I also don't know that I'm actually invited, but I guess I'll drop by to say goodbye. I suppose it's the 'right thing' to do. I don't know that I should talk to her, other than to wish her well... because what's the point of saying anything that matters to me, if I'm sure we'll never talk again?

[insomniak]

"Someday we'll talk again, but there's things we'll never say
That sorrow deep inside you
It inside me too
And it never go away
It'll be ok
You'll learn how
To lose things"

~Caroline Or Change

Posted: 10/2/05 at 11:07am

Ironic, from you. sigh.

I'm losing people left and right. Literally and figuratively.

But realistically, we'll fall out of touch for good. There's no reason to keep it -- we hardly talk now. I've played this game before, and every day I hate myself for letting it go the way it does. But it's too hard to do anything about it.
